Elden Ring Nightreign's first network test: Sign-ups open January 10th, exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The highly anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign, a cooperative Soulsborne experience announced at The Game Awards 2024, will hold its initial network test in February 2025. Registration opens January 10th, exclusively for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S players. This limited beta will precede the game's full release, planned for 2025.
While the exact number of participants remains undisclosed, interested players can register via the official website starting January 10th. Confirmation emails will be sent out no later than February 2025, with specific test dates announced in the coming weeks.
Key Limitations:
- Platform Exclusivity: The network test is limited to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, excluding PS4, Xbox One, and PC players, despite these platforms being targeted for the full game release.
- No Cross-Platform Play: As confirmed by FromSoftware, cross-platform multiplayer will not be featured in Elden Ring Nightreign, impacting the network test's player base.
- No Progress Carryover: While unconfirmed, it's unlikely that progress made during the network test will transfer to the final game.
- Party Size Restrictions: Elden Ring Nightreign will only support solo or three-player parties, excluding duo gameplay. Further restrictions may be in place for the network test.
